The Protesters' Guide to Smartphone Security

I could be perfectly happy to share that I live in the Netherlands, while not comfortable with sharing my precise home address. As you see here: ite a spectrum, sharing some details does not mean i have no privacy at all.

Just because someone does not use graphene OS on their phone and Qubes OS on their computer does not mean that all other attempts at security are useless, these platforms may not even be needed for their threat model, also here you see a spectrum.

This black and white thinking that lots of people seem to have in the privacy community is a big reason why its hard to get privacy into the mainstream, and are completly counterproductive on what we are trying to do here.

Ofcourse on should error on the side of caution when its practical and reasonable to do so, but this extremist view that @nihilist is trying to push here only pushes folks away from improving themselves as they WILL become overwhelmed.
